Wizards at Magic picks and predictions

Prediction

Magic 128, Wizards 115

Moneyline

PASS.

I like Orlando (-590) to win here, but a -590 favorite is not worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or Over/Under instead.

Against the spread

BET MAGIC +11 (-110).

Orlando is 3-0 ATS in its last 3 matchups with Washington and 8-0 ATS during its current 8-game win streak. The Magic have also covered ATS in all of their 13 wins this season. Washington is only 1-2 ATS in its last 3 overall and 4-6 ATS in its last 10 overall.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 237.5 (-110).

The Over has hit in 3 of the last 4 Wizards-Magic matchups and has hit in 5 of Orlando's last 6 overall, including in each of its last 2 games. Both teams are solid offensively and Washington has the worst defense in the league, allowing 124.8 opponent points per game, making the Over a safe bet here.
